Ald. Anthony Beale said “Hell no,” when asked if Johnson’s rhetoric on Trump was being well-received in his majority-Black ward on the Far South Side. The frequent Johnson opponent worries the harsh criticism from the mayor would cut off federal money from Washington — resources his constituents need. “Until our people feel like they’re being put first, it’s going to be bad news every single day,” Beale said. “I don’t think (Johnson’s) being much of a politician.

More cogent aldermen are finally speaking up against Cliff Notes’ governmental insanity. Note to the Chicago press: This isn’t 2017. Your partisan coverage has bled away your viewers and your ad revenue. You’d think that the massive layoffs at your national news feeders would give you a clue. Ignore your interns.
